>>while back I read that studies showed it was healthier for dogs to eat the cheapest dry dog out there because of the low protein/high fiber content
well...the cheapest dog food is usally made with rendered by products! there is no way that i would feed my pets rendered by products. raven Geesh, I've been reluctant to add another thread to this OT discussion.... BUT, we feed our dogs and cats raw food. Have been criticised, but there is good evidence that feeding raw....and adding table scraps whenever provides a great diet for canines and felines. Anyone interested in raw, natural diet, check out BARF web site (bones and raw food). This diet has kept our dogs and cats very healthy. "The greatest enemy of the truth very often is not the lie- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic." "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
